Sedentary behaviors (SB) are characterized by low energy expenditure while in a sitting or
reclining posture. Evidence relevant to understanding the physiology of SB can be derived …

It is not uncommon for people to spend one-half of their waking day sitting, with relatively
idle muscles. The other half of the day includes the often large volume of nonexercise …

Sedentary behaviour is associated with deleterious health outcomes, which differ from those
that can be attributed to a lack of moderate to vigorous physical activity. This has led to the …

Background: Recent updates to physical activity guidelines highlight the importance of
reducing sedentary time. However, at present, only general recommendations are possible …

Sedentary behavior refers to certain activities in a reclining, seated, or lying position
requiring very low energy expenditure. It has been suggested to be distinct from physical …

New evidence suggests that reductions in sedentary behavior may increase physical activity
and improve health. These findings point to new behavioral targets for intervention and new …

Purpose This paper reports on the findings and recommendations of the “Physiology of
Sedentary Behavior and its Relationship to Health Outcomes” group, a part of a larger …

There is growing interest in the role of sedentary behavior as a risk factor for poor health,
independent of physical activity (PA). To guide the spectrum of descriptive, analytic, and …

Purpose Modern lifestyles require people to spend prolonged periods of sitting, and public
health messages recommend replacing sitting with as much standing as is feasible. The …

Moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity has an established preventive role in
cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and some cancers. However, recent …
